Oekaki Rules and Information
by Simon @ Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:13 am [Reply]

All rules regarding forum conduct, child-friendly content, and art use/creation also apply to the Oekaki, but there are also some specific rules that apply only to the Oekaki forums.

    Oekaki Rules
    • Keep comments polite, helpful, and relevant to the artwork. Do not start discussions or debates. Critique is allowed if requested by the artist but insults are not welcome.

    • Make an effort to post your drawing in the correct board. Continued intentional misuse of the forum categories may result in disciplinary action. You can view descriptions of what each board is for in the forum index.

    • Don't spam the Oekaki. Your drawing should show intention and a modest amount of effort. We do not allow random scribbles, simple shapes, or empty/solid color canvases, nor should you post advertisements for trades, streams, or other threads. Covered drawings must still follow the oekaki rules and have art visible, even if they are WIPs.

    • Don't create Oekaki topics just to share art you've created elsewhere. Art drawn in another program should be posted in the appropriate board (example: non-Oekaki adoptable characters go in User-made Adoptables).

    • Don't make Oekaki drawings with just words or puzzles written on them. The Oekaki is for sharing artwork, not for displaying a written message or playing a forum game.

    • If using an editable you must follow the artist's rules. This may include leaving a signature/watermark layer on the final image, or may prevent you from selling colored-in versions as adoptables.

    • Don't post blank canvases in the contests board. Contests may be posted there only if you provide a recognizable lineart or relevant background for contestants to use in their entries. If you don't need people to edit something in particular, go to the Regular Art Competitions Board to create your topic. You can still make a rule that your contestants make their entries in the Oekaki boards if you prefer it that way. For more specific rules about contests please view this thread.

    • Specific rules apply to the the Adoptable boards on the Oekaki:

      • The Oekaki is for making and sharing art in the Oekaki program. If you’d like to use another program to create your adoptables, please post them in user-made adopts or character design shops. “Cover adoptables” are not permitted, except for “milestone” adoptables in which case the cover must still follow Oekaki rules.

      • You may sell Oekaki art/adoptables for CS pets/items/C$, allowed offsite currency, and dA points/real currency. Keep in mind that CS staff are unable to assist with transactions gone wrong involving other site currency or real currency.
        • Any real currency discussion must occur offsite; please link to where you can be contacted. Do not discuss real currency transactions on CS.
      • Post your adoptables in the correct board. If you want to create just a few adopts, use the Adoptables 1: Independent/One-Off board. If you want to create a closed species, community, and intend to make many adoptables, use the Adoptables 2: Closed Species/Communities board.

      • Follow the rules outlined by the adopt creator(s). Many species owners have their own rules that you must follow in order to successfully participate in their species, so be sure to read their rules before posting. CS staff may enforce a thread owner’s rules if necessary. Note that species rules may not circumvent our official site rules.

      • All Adoptable Oekaki submissions must be judged no later than 1 month after their end date. Staff may intervene if the user fails to select a winner after 1 month. Failure to judge a contest after being reminded may result in a board warning.

      • Users are bound to the species rules published at the time that the user receives the adopt. If a species owner adds a new rule, they cannot punish players for breaking the rule before it was added. This includes revoking or rehoming adopts. Updated adoptable rules apply only to adopts made after the rule was published.

      • Paid-entry raffles are not permitted. You may not charge users for the chance to win something.

      • Competitions with entries requiring artistic/creative effort must end with a winner. The promised prize (in this case the character design) must be awarded at the end of the contest to an entrant, so be sure you want to give the character away. You may only change your mind if there are no forms that meet the competition requirement.

      • If you want to transfer your species to another player, then you will need to notify CS staff beforehand. More information on transferring thread ownership can be found here.



    Selecting a different version of ChickenPaint:
    We have 3 versions of the Oekaki program to choose from. The newest version (ChickenPaint v2.0) allows you to use extra features like layer clipping, layer groups, and layer masks.



    Help:
    If you don't know how to get started, go to the Beginner Oekaki. When you create a 'New Topic' it will load ChickenPaint for you.
    You need Java to view it, and once you create and send a picture it will feature at the top of your new topic.

It’s unsure what Black Eyed Galaxy sees, if she sees at all. Sometimes she stares off into space, as if daydreaming…

awkward
by ♥ mizu @ Thu Apr 25, 2024 5:19 pm [Reply]

it happened guys. he confessed to me 😭😭😭

i just. idk. i told him we are good friends and that's ok but i don't know if he understood. but now it's awkward because a) what if he doesn't come to school tomorrow and b) he was SHAKING. i gave him my number and the poor boy was shaking and trembling with nerves. i feel bad. this poor boy. he adores me 😭😭💖💖💖💖 i don't want to be his roman empire istg (or maybe i do idk)

i was totally chill about it but the rest of the day i was kind of jittery. talked about it with my best friend and she helped me through it but i just don't want it getting around because a) i hate drama and b) i'm not putting this poor boy through that. he does not deserve to feel watched because i'm speaking from experience when i say the WHOLE girl group starts watching the boys under a microscope.

idk. i try to sit with him at lunch because i don't want him sitting alone but what do i do now. if i sit with him, it'll be weird and like i'm leading him on. if i don't, i could hurt him. i might have to hurt him though. that's the sad part. i can hurt people and i have in the past but it's different when you can't express your thoughts fully because of a language barrier. i don't want him simmering with his insecurities. i just want to tell him i want to continue being friends. 😭

i've gotten some comments on my other posts i haven't responded to yet and i just want to say that i will. im just anxious rn sorry guys

The Lifegen mod makes it so it follows a cat of your choosing as they grow from a kit to an adult. You decide their fate, their interactions, their allegiance, practically everything.

Boba pup sketches + lore based on this drawing by boolif
by boolif @ Thu Apr 25, 2024 8:01 am [Reply]

just some silly sketches of my silly boys<3 (both designs by lizardgod on cs)

whats a boba pup, and how does one happen? well it wasnt on purpose thats for sure. an innocent and unknowing man, called Javi, was experimenting with new ingrediants for his boba shop. he had been sold a mysterious sparkly powder said to be a great for presentation and taste. even though it wasnt toxic to animals, the seller had still told him to keep it far away from his dogs. the ingrediant became a favorite add on for his costumers and his shop had been growing! one day one of his friends was babysitting his dogs in the shop. the friend, named Nick, decided he wanted to make himself a few (BOBA) drinks. he hadnt tried any of the shimmer sparkles, on accident he used three time the normal amount. after he finished the drinks he went and sent them on a booth table and went back into the kitchen to clean up what he had used. but the dogs had stayed by the booth. once nick had left them alone they jumped onto the seats and tried drinking the drinks. nick returned shortly after, scolding them for ruining his drinks. he decided to give up on the boba for now and played with them the rest of the time. later that night after Javi had returned and took his dogs home he noticed their coats looked odd. they looked like they were almost glowing, but that was impossible so he shrugged it off thinking nick must've bought some new products for their coats. when he woke up the next day he was scared to find his normal dogs had turned into a strange living boba drink dog! and now here they are. despite the coats appearing as glass its still soft like fur just now transparent. as for their organs and such they are still there just completely hidden by the "drink" portion.

lizardgod @ Thu Apr 25, 2024 9:36 am

AHHHHH LOOK AT THEM!! I love love love the lore you came up with!!

thank you!! i thought itd be nice to just have a silly story for their creation (i cant traumatize just a puppy). i actually have a story with Javi and Nick (and the unmentioned Falor) already and thought itd be a good fit to give them some special puppers! i still havent really come up with names for the pups yet but im working on it (i named my whale shark plushie mr. sharkie and thats abt how creative i am with names)

drawing of my OMG SO RARE smooth
by berketexspet @ Thu Apr 25, 2024 6:07 am Attachment(s) [Reply]

Hello chicken smoothie. today i have a special drawing. this is not a commision, but a drawing I made myself. "what is it a drawing of?" you guys ask. this is a drawing of my OMG SO RARE smooth. this is my only one i have so it is kind of special to me. I got it during christmas, it's a rabbit from 2009 easter. i will definitely trade it for an omg so rare butterfly wolf. or better yet, sunback. my tomboy best friend says that is the best one. the reason there is an egg is because i used too little space so i made good use of it. Please do not say that this is bad OR ai generated. do not say that this is bad AND ai generated. I DO NOT USE AI IN MY ART. IF SOMEONE IS SPREADING LIES ABOUT ME DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. i did not use ai, i used my computer and my brain. NOT THE AI GENERATER ON MY COMPUTER. AI ART IS NOT REAL ART. AI ARTISTS ARE NOT ARTISTS. IF YOU RECEIVE A MESSAGE AFTER COMMISIONING ME SAYING I USE AI IN MY ART DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM. someone in my art class said my art is bad and ai generated and i cried. also, i'm commisioning anywhere between 3 - 58 chicken smoothie dollars for art because my mom spends her money on cigarettes and alcohol instead of buying me chicken smoothie dollars so i need to do commisions for smoodles. remember, the more chicken smoothie dollars, the more good the art! the attached image is my smooth

Have a smooth-tastic day!

OH NO ITS MAGOLOR SOUL ALL OVER AGAIN!

KIRYU, THIS IS WHY I TOLD YOU NOT TO WEAR EVERY SINGLE CROWN YOU SEE!


anyways jokes aside, this took me FOREVER, but this is mainly because its absolutely (no absolute zero cannon pun intended) impossible for me to draw this guy's proportions, anyways here have a kiryu drawing for literally the one billionth time, its kinda of a combination of both of the kiryu designs, the tokyo sos body, with the gxmg rocket launchers

i quite like how this turned out
